So far, so good: while the Tokina’s chromatic aberrations are more significant, it shares or exceeds many of the same strengths as its selected competitors, and beats both the Canon and Sigma lenses in other areas, especially for transmission and vignetting.

On a Nikon mount, the Tokina has a slightly less impressive showing against its competitors, but still comes out ahead in terms of its quality-to-price ratio.

In conclusion, just like the Tokina AT-X 12-24 AF PRO DX Canon and Nikon models, the Tokina 11-16mm holds its own against the competition. In fact, it’s a great choice for any photographer who doesn’t mind having to spend some post-processing time dealing with chromatic aberrations.
